THE YELLOWSTONE PARK Its Wonders and Grandeur Described by Mr, John I, Stoddard, His Audtence Wa: One, Including the Most Prominent Government Official a Distinguished It {s doubtful if the Columbia Theater ever held a more distinguished audience than the one which gathered last night to listen to Mr. Stoddard’s masterly descrip- tion of the wonders of the Yellowstone Park, and to gaze with delight upon the pictures of its glories which the lecturer had collected, and which flashed upon a screen by means of a stereopticon. It was an audience invited for a special occasion and included a majority of the most prom!- nent officials of the government at the ra- tional capital. Members of the cabinet, judges of the Supreme Court, senators and representatives in Congress by the score, army and navy officials and others promi- nent in social as well as official circles of Washington. One-half of the audience con- sisted of the ladies and families of these officials, and the house was brilliant with the fine dresses of Mr. Stoddard’s guests. The orchestra of the theater was tilled, every seat being occupied, and the bal- ccny tiers were packed to the last row. All of the boxes except the one set apart for the President and Mrs. Cleveland were aiso occupied. Secretary Lamont, who has visit- ed Yellowstone Park,and is conversant with its beauties, sat in one of the lower boxes with his family. In the course of the even- ing a picture was suddenly thrown upon the screen exhibiting the dignified Secre- ta of War in an outing costume, with several companions, seated around a lunch spread in one of the most picturesque gorges of the national park. The audience was very much amused at this picture and at the anecdote which Mr. Stoddard told of President Cleveland's remark upon some of Mr. Lamont's fish stories about the Yel- lowstone lake. Speaker Reed occupied an- other box, and Mrs, Leiter and family a third one. Others who were invited to oc- cupy boxes were Vice President Stevenson, Mrs. Phil Sheridan and family, Mrs. Hearst and pa Representative Bingham and Senator Lodge. Invitations had been ex- tended to Justices Field, Gray and Shiras and Marshal Wright of the Supreme Court Secretary Herbert, Secretary Morton, Se retary Francis, Postmaster General Wilson, Assistant Secretary Rockhill, Controller Bekels and Mr. Henry T. Thurber. Among the senators who were present were Mr. Blanchard, Mr. Burrows, M Carter, Mr. Gordon, Mr. Jones of Arka sas, Mr. Morrill, Mr. Peffer, Mr. Pettigrew, Mr. Thurston and Mr. Wilson. The repre- sentatives invited were L. D, Apsley, Hugh R. Belknap, Henry R. Bingham, Chas. A. Boutelle, Marriott Bresius, Jos. G. Cannon, Seth W. Cobb, Jas. A. Connolly, Chark Daniels, Alexander M.

White were also present Of the lecture itself only the highest praise has been given. Mr. Steddard seems to have been fortunate in obtaining some of the most beautiful views of the varied and wonderful works of nature in the Yel- lowstone National Park. His deserip%on of the scenes was eloquent and added to the charm of the evening's entertainment. The views embraced a wide range of sub- jects from the delicate colorings of the boiling pools to the grandeur of the great canon of the Yellowstone. The audience was enthusiastic throughout the evening and gave Mr. Stoddard frequent demon- strations of its appreciation of his effort The officers of the United-States army invited were: Col.

Church, corner 4 1-2 and C streets, has been repaired it fs pronounced by com- petent authorities as being safer than ever befere. The spire of the Metropolitan Church was twisted by the storm of last September and for a time there was a difference of opin- ion among the board of trustees as to the propriety of again repairing the spire. It was finally decided to restore it and J. B. Hammond, the superintendent of construc- tion of the American University, submitted a plan for its repair and reinforcement. ‘The repairs were made on those plans and the spire has since been pronounced per- fectly safe and “cupable of resisting suc- cessfully the violence of any storm habitual te this section of the country ‘The reconstruction of the spire required 1,250 feet of iron rod, so arranged as to give the spire great ‘strength. The total cost of the reconstruction was $2,500, while the cest of removing the spire would have been $3,500, When the Metropolitan Church was de: icated in 1869 it had no spire. It was thret gh the efforte of Mrs. J. P. Newman, wife of the pastor of the church at that time, that money for the spire was pro- vided and_on ‘Yhanksgiving day, Novem- ber 3, 1671, the spire and chime of bells were dedicated. ‘Tne spire was named for Thomas Kelso of Baltimore, who donated $5,000 for its erection. On February 1, 1 the spire was badly injured by a stor and was forced out of plumb by several feet. The board of trustees of the church now belfeve the spire is proof against in- jury from any storm that is apt to visit this city. ——— BANKER ARRESTED. Charged With Unlawfully Receiving Deposits. Col. Wm. Jack, a member of the suspend- ed banking house of Gardner Morrow & Co. of Hollidaysburg, Pa., has been arrested on the charge of recelving deposits, know- ing the bank was insolvent. The accused was released upon furnishing $5,000 bail. The prosecutors are Lynn A. Brua and John S. Vipend, two prominent citizens of the town. Col. Jack's friends stoutly main- tain lis innocence. They say that his con- nection with the bank was only of a nom- inal character, and that he never took an active interest in the institution. potas Mr. Moody's Birthday, Dwight L. Moody, the famous evangelist, yesterday observed his sixtieth birthday, and hundreds of his admirers in many places, not to mention his Boston friends, united to make the occasion a memorable one. IN MUSICAL CIRCLES The New Mask aad Wig lub Called the ““‘Fohnnik qi ” Its First Perfermance to Be the “Mikado and How It Will Be Can@ — Other Items. As has already been stated in The Star, @ mask and wig club has been formed in this city, the members being mainly taken from the Sons of Confederate Veterans, and on that account have styled them- selves the “Johnnie Juniors.” The club will give its first performance at a matinee at the Columbia Theater on the 19th in- stant, when “The Mikado” will be pre- serfted. Professor Du Shane Cloward, the originator of this class of performances in Washington, is director, and 1s delighted with the: proficiency already attained, and from the promising outlook regards it as certain that the coming performance will equal, if not surpass, any of its kind here- tcfore given in the city. Owing to the number of excellent voices in the-company, he has been able to se- lect a double cast, to meet all contingencies which may arise. The cast as it will ap- pear in the initial performance is as fol- lows: The Mikado, Mr. Geo. P. Robinson, grandson of the late Chas. S. Morgan of Richmord. Mr. Robinson's mother was one of the most-admired women of the south Lefore the war, and was the possessor of a rich soprano voice. Mr. Robinson is a di- rect descendant of the fighting Morgan stock of revolutionary fame. He is gifted with probably the most remarkable bass voice in the city, being able to sing below C with ease. He has just had written for him, and will sing at the Mikado for the first time, an up-to-date topical song. The part of Nanki Poo will be taken by Mr. Melville D. Hensey, who is one of the best- known of our church singers, and is con- sidered by many to have the richest tenor in the city. x Ko Ko, the comedy role, is taken b: Wm. Huntington Conley of North ne. Mr. Conley is no stranger to Wash- ingtonians, having appeared here in va- rious comedy roles. He has been the “fun- ny” man of the ‘Deutsche Dramatische Geselischaft" for several years, and has taken a prominent part in many of the amateur performances given here in late years. Poo Bah will be personated by Mr. Arthur T. Earnest, who is a son of Maj. F. W. Earnest of Tennessee, and is one of the promising young business men of this city. He possesses a rich and remarkably sweet baritone voice. Mr. D. M. Lumsden of Richmond, V: and a graduate of the Virginia Military Institute, will sing in the role of Pish Tush. Mr. Lumsden ts a mem- ber of the Dixie Quartet, which sang at the recent banquet of the Confederate Vet- erans. Mr. Leroy Gough, a lawyer of this city and a graduate of Columbian College, will take the part of Yum Yum. He appeared in this role on a previous occasion, and was very favorably received. Pitti Sing will be represented by Mr. Paul W. Evans, son of Dr. W. Warring- ton vans, a native of Baltimore, Md., who served with distinction in the confederate ervice. Mr. Evans is very clever with “paint ard powder,” and makes a remark- ably pretty Japanese. Mr. Sidney Lee Ingles, a son of Capt. T. M. Ingles of the 2d Tennessee Volunteers, takes the character of Peep Bo. He “makes up” very well, and is sure to w the hearts of all the Japanese gentlemen. Mr. Wm. H. Harris, who is so pleasantly remembered here ag the author and com- poser of the “Three Dukes," will take the role of Katisha. He acted the same role when the Mikado: was given here several years ago, and was much complimented for his excellent interpretation of the part. ‘The M.kado's umbrella will be carefully held over him by Mr. Alexander N. Breck- inridge, who has been nicknamed “the Mi- kado’s full back. The chorus numbers fifty-five voices. The executive staff is as follows: Presi- dent, Capt. Jno. M. Hickey; vice president, Benj. S. Minor; treasurer, Dr. Wm. P. M. c. Brown; chairman . F. P. Hoo- director, Prof. N. DuShane Cloward; Alexander N. Breckinridge; as- sistant manager, Herbert M. Locke; stage manager, Oliver C. Hine, and property man, S. Hazen Bond. mpliance with a-very generally ex- desire, the cantata, “The Star of Bethlehem,” by Mr. Donald B. MacLeod, will be repeated on Sunday evening next, at 8 o'clock, at St. Paul's Church, on 23d street near Washington circle. Those who were prevented by the storm of Tuesday last from hearing the very successful pro- duction of this work will how have an op- portunity to do so. Prof. Geo. W. Lawrence will give his monthly musicale with his pupils Friday evening, February 19, at his studio, and I be agsisted by Mr. Etseman, violinist: the Ide mandolin and guitar quartet, and Mr. Arthur Yundt, violinist, accom. panied by his pupils, and other well-known talent. These musicales occur every third Friday evening. and are looked forward to with a great deal of pleasure by those who are fortunate enough to receive Invitations. January 31 was the centennial anniver- sary of Schubert's birth, and was cele- brated by nearly all the musical organiza- tions, great and small, throughout the world. The Sunday Night Music Club did the same in a very modest way at Miss Elsa Ulke's, playing part of his ninth sym- phony, hts unfinished symphony and the overture, ballet music and entr’acte music from his opera ‘‘Rosamunde;” all in piano duet and strings; with his songs, “The Erl King” and “Serenade,” both having piano and string quartet accompaniment. The Ladies’ Association of the Metropoli- tan Methodist Episcopal Church, 412 and streets northwest, gave a delightful com- plimentary musicale to their friends recent- ly In the lecture room of the church. The exercises consisted of a piano solo, ‘“‘Cap- riecloso_Brilliante,"’) Mendelssohn, by Mrs. Cc. E. Thorn; vocal duet, “Beth C. Burlew and Miss Mattle Gray: s solo, “Day Dreams,” Strelezski, Miss Marie Stuart; violin solo, “‘Legende,” Weiniawski, Miss ‘Luella Hathaway; contralto solo, “Listening Angels,” Cowen, Miss Mattie Gray, violin obligato, by Miss Hathaway: piano solo,‘‘Valse,"” Moszkowski, Miss Cece. ly Moore, and soprano solo, “For All Eternity,” Mascheroni, Miss Byrde Oliver of Beverly, N. J.. Miss Mollie McKee and Mr. George E. Armstrong were the ac- companists. The Fridzy afternoon receptions of Mrs. Susanne Oldberg are thoroughly enjoyable and those who are fortunate enough to re- ceive cards are always sure of hearing some excellent music by Mrs, Oldberg and her pupils. Usually there are one or two professionals who add to the interest of the occasion. —_+—__ Attention is called to the trustees’ sale of the brick dwelling, No. Elm street northwest, Le Droit Park, which takes place on Monday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock.

The Washington) City Free Library of 1517 H street northwest has issued the fol- lowing circular: This library, occupying two small rented rooms, began January 6, 1896, to loan ts books gratuitously:to residents of the Dis- trict. During the year 6,666 borrowers reg- istered, to whom» 100,446 volumes were loaned. About one bundred individuals pledged annually $2,500, @ sum sufficient to circulate 50,000 volumesi The circulation for 187 begins on the basis: of 150,000 volumes an- nually—three timessgreater than our means permit. In consequence our quarters are inadequate, either for books or for reading rooms. More help, »additional books, and a reading room are dmperatively needed to tide over the time until our collections pass into the hands of the Commissioners of the District, who have already agreed to re- ceive them as soon as means are available for their care. Shall these needs be met? Will not the rest of the residents of Washington give as much this year as the original one hun- dred men and women are giving annually? ‘The sum of $2,500 is wanted, Large single contributions are not asked, but it is hoped that gifts ranging from $1 to $25 will be promptly made.

CARROLL INSTITUTE FAIR Arrangements Made for a Basar to Be Held This Month. Energetic Committees im Charge— Ladies to Preside Over the Booths. ‘Twenty-three years ago Carroll Institute was organized for the purpose of drawing together members 6f the Catholic Church for social intercourse, physical culture, lit- erary advancement, the encouragement of education, and the furtherance of such Catholic objects as commend themselves to a society governed and conducted by the laity. Today Carroll Institute is the lead- ing Catholic literary, social and athletic club of this city. It is housed in a beautiful home on 10th street near K, where, with a spacious lec- ture hall, a well-stocked library and read- ing rooms, well-equipped gymnasium, bowl- ing alleys and amusement rooms, excellent facilities are afforded for the entertain- ment and improvement of its members. Its annual course of complimentary lectures is brilliant and popular, and its hall is crowd- ed weekly by large and appreciative audi- ences. Its dramatic and minstrel clubs have won for themselves a reputation sec- ond to none in the amateur theatrical world. Its orchestra is well and favorably known to all lovers of music. Its bowling and basket ball clubs have won laurels in their respective leagues. But its success has only been accom- plished after years of great energy and industry, and by the expenditure of a great sum of money. In common with others, it has felt the present stringency of the finan- cial world, and in order to meet certain obligations which fall due in the early spring it is necessary to raise several thousand dollars. For this purpose a fair will be held in Carroll Institute Hall from February 15 to 27, inclusive. ‘The general arrangements for the fair have been in the hands of the following executive committee: N. T. Taylor, presi dent; Dr. A. D. Wilkinson, secretary: Ja F. Shea, treasurer, and J. B. Brady, Dr. J. H. Burch, B. J. Coyle, P’ H. Cromelin, J. ; F. Downey, J. R. Gallo- E. J. Hannan, M. B.

Walsh and M. I. Weller. ‘The work of soliciting donations has been intrusted to a committee of thirty-five members, with Mr. James F. Shea as chair- man. This committee and the ladies in charge of the various tables and booths have been hard at work for some weeks past, and are accomplishing good results. The committee in charge of tickets and books is composed of the following mem- H. W. Sohon, chairman, and B. M iget, M. J. Colbert, George-T. Cox, W Howard, Chas. J. Murphy and Dr. M. Sutliffe. During the fair a daily Gazette will be published, under the editorship of Mr. M. B. Johngton, assisted by J. A. Burkart, W. H. DeLacy, A. G. Hall, G. T. Haslam, Geo. Wm. Hill, Denis Kerr, Dr. C. E.
